Task name
Azure App Service Deploy
Task version
4.235.0
Issue Description
The Publish Profile Connection Type option of the Azure App Service deploy tool ignores the DeployIisAppPath specified in the publish profile and unsuccessfully tries to install to the "IIS Web Application Name" value specified in the *.SetParameters.xml file of the Web Deploy package, which defaults to Default Web Site.
Workarounds:
- Build a custom artifact for each target app service.
- Publish manually from VisualStudio
- Copy the failed command line from the Azure App Service deploy log output and create a new PowerShell Script task with the following inline script and an extra "setParam" argument to update the value of "IIS Web Application Name":
"C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe" -source:package='D:\a\r1\a\_application\web\Web.zip' -dest:auto,computerName="https://sanitized.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/msdeploy.axd?site=sanitized",userName="$sanitized",password="<password>",authtype="basic",includeAcls="False" -verb:sync -disableLink:AppPoolExtension -disableLink:ContentExtension -disableLink:CertificateExtension -setParamFile:"D:\a\r1\a\_application\web\Web.SetParameters.xml" -enableRule:DoNotDeleteRule -retryAttempts:6 -retryInterval:10000 -setParam:"Name=""IIS Web Application Name"",value=sanitized"
The application name and password can also be added as scoped pipeline variables and passed through as environment variables:
&"C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe" -source:package='D:\a\r1\a\_application\web\Web.zip' -dest:auto,computerName="https://$($Env:APPNAME).scm.azurewebsites.net:443/msdeploy.axd?site=$($Env:APPNAME)",userName="`$$($Env:APPNAME)",password="$($Env:APPPASS)",authtype="basic",includeAcls="False" -verb:sync -disableLink:AppPoolExtension -disableLink:ContentExtension -disableLink:CertificateExtension -setParamFile:"D:\a\r1\a\_MiraHpc\web\Web.SetParameters.xml" -enableRule:DoNotDeleteRule -retryAttempts:6 -retryInterval:10000 -setParam:"Name=""IIS Web Application Name"",value=$($Env:APPNAME)"
This has the added benefit of hiding the password from the build logs.
